Me and Ervin Capps

Not the first time ive met him but it is the first time i spent a couple days with him working side by side learning how to laminate. Man does he work hard and get around like a 25year old. Haha...He did the bottom on my TX20 and I had him come to my shop this week and do some extra stuff to help with my shut down. Ervin is a stand up Guy and a great teacher. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together and snagged me a pic of the Ole man! Ervin I hope you enjoyed seeing one of your condor tx-18's and your work is awesome!! Thanks for the time and work!!!

I was schooled by Mr. Capps par excellence...about pumps he answered by example two long standing questions i had, gave me a theory i had not thought of and reinforced one long standing supposition about what is actually going on 'down there'.

Told me things about layup and materials that i would have never known, as well as some history...what a gentleman.

I've known and done business with Ervin Capps for a little over 35 years now. He built the boat I took my first National Championship in; Mellow Yellow, (1979). It was a 1979 Condor Sprint. I must say, "It has been a grand trip through the years knowing and working with Ervin". He knows more about how to build, rig, repair and restore boats than anyone I know. He is a true fiberglass/gel coat artist and a great friend.
